With NAND seemingly right around the corner, and the HD2 running froyo so well on the SD card. Why not? If you decide to make the switch I have them for sale right now. Just $250.00 barely used.

Well, the pros of owning an HD2 is Froyo ROMs are readily available. Bigger screen. More RAM. And soon NAND flash make Android even more seemless.
On the other hand, Xperia X10 is a nice looking phone SE sure know how to make them.

Personally, I would ditch the X10. Its a nice phone and everything, but this is an exciting development. I rarely have any hiccups in android anymore and the battery life has stabilized after having run it as the primary o/s for so long. With every update it gets better, and looking forward to the future, there are more updates and o/s's to think about! But if gadget tinkering isn't your thing, I highly suggest you stick with a phone you like stock!

Please Understand that if you do get a hd2 you get it knowing that android is and will be beta for a very long time. also not all users experience the same results.
That being said I love my hd2 and probably wouldnt trade it for the world. I dont use wifi tether at the moment so if it doesnt work I dont care. I dont really use bt headsets so i havent tried to get it working but that is hit or miss.
Sense you are already use to android It wont be so bad. Alot of people are use to windows and are trying to make it function the same way.

I did the same perfect deal, good to have multtouch again, and the hd2 on android is faster then x10 !. It;s not perfect but hey you always have winmo

I sold my Samsung Galaxy S for an HD2
Would never look back, runs smoother amazingly but this is true, found the Galaxy S had lots of lags and halts, but I believe froyo is coming soon for it.
The screen is larger and more controller over the brightness settings.
The HD2 is made so well and has a superb camera and flash.
You get the best XDA development there is, there is some much to do, from hundreds of WM ROMS, to a massive Android development, not sure any other device offers this much.
I would go for it, but it takes a while to get into the hd2, read lots on here, be patient and enjoy.

Don't do it. Get a "real" Android phone instead, like the upcoming Desire HD.

Hi all thanks for ur help I got the hd2 ive got froyo running and I'm loving it and the phone the screen is more responsive and know I can see what all the fuss about mt is too can't wait for nand now

hd2 is not multitouch at all!

I have an HTC desire but I saw the HD2 screen is huge, Compared to desire but than desire has the Amoled and hd2 only simple tft.
I was leened over to exchange it with the Desire , but after seeing these facts I don't know . .
What about NexusOne, which is better ? Nexus or Desire ?

the nexus ist the desire with two little differences. desire has a optical trackpad, nexus a mechanical and the other thing is that the desire comes with the sense ui where the nexus comes with plain 2.1.
apart of that the desire (amoled) has the same hardware as the nexus. but you have to be careful to get a amoled and not one of the newer series with s-lcd. i don't want to say that s-lcd is not as good as the amoled, i really like both.

yes.
sony vs hd2? no question.
even when hd2 runs it only from sd card

Definately, i swapped my HD2 for the x10 and came straight back to the HD2 as soon as android was available never regretted it
Ricey

Don't knock the simple tft screen, easy to read in direct sunlight, the HD2 screen is perfectly sensitive also, may not have the multi touch capabilities of the Samsung Galaxy S, but neither do the Nexus or Desire.
I'd say the HD2 has best of all worlds, still cant beat that huge HD2 screen

You should definitely get HTC Desire HD (after 8th of october)
You can define it as an HD2 with real android.
With hibernate mode, desire hd boots in a few secons after power off.
HD2 nand Android should be near perfect within 1-3 months. You will constantly need to work on it till everybody gets perfect android. It should be cheaper but you must be patient, if you want android hd2 like desire hd.
Froyo is huge difference in android terms and desire hd is the only phone with hd2 screen/hardware and has native froyo.

Hmm ok . So u guys are saying I should switch to HD2 from my desire ? Im a full.android boy, so android would run pretty much like on desire or no some lag or worse battery?
How about the 720p video recording ?
And also one more thing, The colours ? Are they as vibrant in nature on the HD2 as they r on the Desires led?

Ahhh I don't have my HD2 yet but im pretty sure that based on everything ive read the HD2 has multitouch. At the very least it has dual touch.
As far as swapping the X10 for HD2, im doing it. Im keeping my X10 though. The dual boot thing has really got me interested in the HD2. The only issue that im worried about with the HD2 is the gsensor issues while running android.

Should I trade my HD2 for a Desire/Nexus One?

I have the opportunity now to change my HD2 for a Desire or a Nexus One. Keeping in mind I will only ever use Android and do not intend on ever going back to windows mobile, should I go through with the trade? How are the speeds between the two devices on Android, say with a SuperRAM build on the HD2 and a build on the others?
Also, would a Desire or Nexus One be the better trade? im leaning toward Desire due to its increased RAM and physical buttons and optical trackpad.

I would trade instantly

I wouldn't trade for anything less than a Desire HD.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App

I wouldn't trade only because of screen size, if you don't mind going down to a 3.7" then I'd get the Nexus One for these reasons:
1) AMOLED Screen
2) More stable ROMs with better power management drivers
3) development
4) awesome lighted track-ball

If you even have to ask then trade it yesterday. I don't even understand why someone would waste their time even posting a question like that. Or why I would waste mine answering.

Hmm thanks for the replies guys. So does the Nexus One have better development than the Desire?
Also has anyone who used one noticed any difference in the screen resolution quality between Desire/Nexus One and the HD2? I ask this because of the PenTile RBGW technology both of these phones use which gives it an actual resolution lower than stated.

I had a Nexus with CM 6.1.1 and then flashed back to stock... The phone is OK... I would trade it because it's worth more than the HD2 but it's not faster than the HD2 on SuperRAM. Not way faster but it does go quicker.. Also on the HD2 I am getting H+ vs on the stock Nexus was stuck at 3G.
I sold my Nexus for $350 on ebay... you can get an HD2 on CL for $200-220

Jost for desire hd

Strange question why wouldnt you put android on sd of youre hd2?
Angry birds whas better playable then on stock hero:-o

Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

I would trade not sure which though, maybe desire for sense?

I am thinking something 2, i have HD2 about one year an would like to get something new, but there is notheing what I am looking for.
1. amoled 4.0 or bigger
2. good camera
maybe dell venue one day

my opinion is...Stay with hd2 cause one day you will have the posibility to run even wp7..you can try so many android builds and even running RAM..soon you will be able also ran RAMsense..!!!my girlfriend has desire HD and believe me runninjg desire hd on hd2 sdcard is faster than my girlfriends phone..the only one that desire hd beats the hd2 desire hd sdcard build is that have 720p video recording and faster app downloading via market !!so choose wisely..thats only my opinion

Depends if you are someone that likes to play, experiment etc..
I had a Nexus One, loved it until September this year, awesome phone, great colors on the screen and a fast update from google to 2.2
However, I was getting bored with the device and decided to get a HD2, I view a lot of video on my phone hence wanting the larger screen. The Desire HD was non existent then and I knew android would run on the HD2..
The development I have witnessed since September, many issues being fixed in the short period I have been on board with the awesome HD2 devs has proven to me this is a great developers phone.
One thing I love about the HD2 coming from a G1/Magic/Hero/N1 is that to flash a new rom I simply rename the android folder or modify the startup.txt and boot the new rom while not bothering the old rom.
This on a native android phone requires, Nandroiding then wiping, then flashing. If unhappy with rom then Restore nandroid. the Process is time consuming.
The thing I miss about my N1 is the Trackball for alerts, hell even my Magic had a tri colored LED.. the HD2 can only produce Green and Orange.
If you just want a phone that can run android and is stable and requires little attention, Flash a rom here and there get the Desire/N1.
If you want something to play with that is very flexible then id say keep the HD2.
I personally would not give up the 4.3" now after owning one, I have used a few Desire HD's and they are not bad not bad.. but not worth upgrade/sidegrading for..
Please note: This is all IMHO. Do not flame me!!

Is it worth upgrading to an HTC Evo 3D

So the HTC Evo 3D seems still to be sold for a low price. Lowest price I found was € 269 and now it went to € 289
And the current price off the HTC Desire HD in the same shop is € 295.
So as far I know the HTC Evo 3D got an 1.2Ghz dual core and an 960x540 screen resolution, further it has 1024MB ram and a 3D screen.
And bluetooth 3.0 and a frontcam which the HTC Desire HD has not. So that is the general difference. And I would say getting about € 200 for my HTC Desire HD should still be possible.
But is it worth? I would still be investing almost € 100 then and there seems to be not so much different, in fact the camera on HTC Evo 3D is 5MP, but it has 3D recording possibilities.
I see the Evo 3D has no unibody design like our HTC Desire HD.

Well, you'll have awful battery life, a bulkier device, and a pointless 3D screen.
IMO, not much if an upgrade. Stick with your phone, it still has a long life ahead, and save up for a newer HTC flagship (One X etc)
Sent from my HTC Desire S using Tapatalk

Yes its heavier indeed I read. First I though it had an unibody design to, but it doesn't have it. I also already decided that it would not be worth upgrading.
I was only thinking of buying it because priced drop so much, its right now even cheaper then a new HTC Desire HD.
I also think in terms of design the HTC Desire HD looks much better.

I agree, it's not worth it. I would prefer to buy an HTC Sensation XE.
Or save the money for the next HTC devices (One X, One S).

Answer: Nah

Best thing would be ofcourse keeping the HTC Desire HD after my contract ends and using a cheap prepaid sim card for just being reachable.
As I always use rynga.com for calling. But the DHD is still good and as long it keeps working then I have nothing to worry about.

if you where going from a nokia brick to evo 3D, then yes
from dhd to evo 3d, nope.

€295? really expensive.. I bought my one at €130 last month.. and €99 today without a contract.

You mean the Desire HD? I don't think the new price off HTC Desire HD will be so low, but you are from Korea so it could be that you pay much less there.
But 50% less looks alot to me. The Evo3D is really cheap on the moment, but reason for it seems that it was not selling good.

Do you think that is worth? I could try put it on internet for about € 200 and be happy if I get € 200 for it.
So then I would still need add € 89 by myself and main difference between HTC Desire HD is the CPU and RAM and screen, the rest is not much difference, the DHD even got a 8MP camera and the Evo3d got 5MP.
Its not a bad phone the Evo3D, but its not without reason its being sold for so low price. Because I also see this device doesn't have custom roms like the HTC Sensation has, there are some custom roms but its not same as our DHD, for the Evo3d there is right now not even a ics sense rom.
So I think its not worth really, but if my DHD would break then I would buy it right away as its a good deal right now, but the HTC One X and HTC One S will be released also soon.

If you want to root and install custom ROM, it's better to keep the DHD.
In the new line of HTCs, One X, S and V, there's one that is completely compatible with DHD, namely HTC One V, with just slight difference in camera resolution (DHD got better camera than OneV).
Let's hope that there's a developer in XDA that might pick this up and port it into DHD with all the ICS+Sense 4 goodness.
Officially, DHD would get ICS as well, though I doubt they would give sense4 into it, most likely just sense3.5.

Yes if we look to custom roms then our DHD got more options. But a good ICS rom for the DHD is there right now not yet.
If I look to another aspect off buying a Evo3d then I not only see a better phone, but also warranty for 2 years.
Selling my DHD and buying an Evo3d would not be to bad at all. I need to consider that if my DHD breaks that its nothing worth at all, but on other side it should still keep working for awhile and buying the Evo3d right now will not be a good idea, because there already annouced the new HTC top devices.
I guess I just keep mine DHD till at least my contract is finished, I still have until half October until my contract finishes and be honest most off days lately I'm not using my phone much.

Of course get a sensation /Xe or wait for The One X evo 3d is not worth a gange from a dhd besides some users have reported that they felt a little bit dizy after looking to 3D pics because u dont use a 3d glasses with this phone

I gave my gf an sensation lol. So I bought one but gave it as present and I will just keep using my DHD.
When I switched from iPhone 3G to DHD that was like I entered heaven, but I think an upgrade will not have that experience anymore and our DHD will still function very good.

Are u serious? HTC Sensation is quiet better than Desire HD. If u go to Sensation forum u see a lot of great Roms with ICS + Sense 3.6 and Sense 4.0. Why don't u change with your girlfriend and play with Sensation 4 awile until your contract finish?

Hahaha she will scold me, she doesn't want a used phone and when I bought her the Sensation I though it was better then buying the DHD because the Sensation cost not so much more.
And also its rude to give someone your used phone as Christmas present. I let her Sensation just stock because its not mine but hers so I didn't root it or put a custom rom on it.
I don't consider the Sensation worth to upgrade and only reason I was considering the HTC Evo3d is because its practical an HTC Sensation in terms off specification, but its price is much cheaper right now, but I can see its not a good phone if you like have newer Android version, as certain parts in ports for evo3d are not working good.
But they do have an Sense 4.0 port right now, that's further then the DHD is, we only have an ics sense 3.6 rom which got no internet connectivity. No I really think I can stick with mine DHD, I only still have 8 months to go on my contract and I think the DHD still will do a good job. We already have asop ics.

I've wanted to buy an HTC Sensation, but i changed my mind when i saw the new HTC One devices.

Well not long ago we just had some Sensation roms, so in terms off software we are not so much behind and we will get an official ICS.
Yes HTC One serie looks great.

new purchase

I was considering buying a htc desire x that I find interesting in terms of size and price. What do you think? If I wanted to sell my mini might interest anyone?

Well, The HTC HD Mini will get the final stable ROM at last, but can take a while, also I'm working on it hardly.. I won't give up and I never won't to be sold our HTC HD Mini..
If you trying to upgrade to a better phone, try upgrading to the near latest phones, like a HD display, more camera pixels. because you won't see much different, and this desire x could have another problems that you hope to be....
It's your choose..

Hi baggino, i also planned to buy the Desire X but there are some points why i don't do it.
The main reason is, that in a big german board many people reporting that their DX is rushing very loud. And this is annoying all the time. Many sent it for repair but after it was back there was the same.
And it hasn't simple things like digital compass or gorilla glas and it has only Sense lite.
I now think about HTC One SV, more expensive but beating desire x in every point.
I think i will never sell my mini, cause i wont get the money wich it is worth!

Got the SV. Love it so far. Off course no mod/recovery support yet, but it does unlock the same way using the htcdev website.

Hi friend, I have held for some time now Cm7 of schlund but the battery is not the best, as battery is very good the iplasm rom but has too many problems with wifi, gps and 3 g calls and usb cable ....If the battery was good cm7 ... ... ...Hopefully next rom. So for now I do not buy htc desire x and continue to hope.

Is this phone to old ? What will you be getting next ?

Is it time for a new phone now that development on this m7 has started to die down ? Sad really I miss my desire hd days development for that phone was awesome ! So what phone will you be getting next ? And is the development going to be awesome with that phone ? I want to get back to when things where poping off every day with something new to do I just don't feel the thrill of flashing with this m7 like I did desire hd .
Still good phone just not happy with development. Deffinetly better than one x + lol but desire hd had everything on development . I never have felt like I've got my money out of these phones besides the desire hd that phone was worth every penny !

too old? I just got this and its fantastic. This is the best time to buy an M7 for a couple of reasons...speed tests with the m8 are almost neck and neck, prices have gone down and its still a gorgeous piece of technology. Not to mention you can get sense 6 directly from HTC and therefore leave it stock as much as you want

Yeah I won't be upgrading to m8 but maybe m8 prime when it drops I just think the developer friendly environment gonna suck cuz of android L but who knows only time will tell I wish I still had my desire hd still have my HTC hd2 I love playing around with that phone still to this day

Dude, wait. Don't upgrade now. I would suggest that you wait to see the newer devices towards the end of the year. If you're in a hurry, the LG G3 or the M8 would be your best bet.
Is development your only issue with the phone? Because development is still going strong. Keep your M7. You worked hard to afford it

M8 didn't impress overall. I might go for the oneplus one for a larger scree, better battery life, and better hardware support in cm11. The hardware on the m7 is quite good so it's not a rush.

Honestly I'm keeping my M7 for at least another year or so, because by the time it's time for me to upgrade, the new Snapdragon 810 phones would probably be out. That's what I'm waiting for. I hope the next HTC phone won't have the black bar with the logo on it, that's one thing I hate about the M8. I'd like the screen to be directly and evenly centered in the body.

Snapdragon 810 (64-bit)
I'm waiting for the Nexus 6 which will be 64-bit along with the beautiful Android L.

That's what I'm waiting on is snapdragon 810 with 4k capability
I'm bout to turn my m7 back into ge edition and play around with art !
I don't like LG because it's plastic I only buy metal phones HTC hd2 desire hd and m7
I did buy a one x + but it wasn't metal and broke in my pocket att was nice enough to let me trade it in for a m7 I learned my lesson I'm to tough on phones and metal ones only ones that can stand up to my abbuse
